What affects the price in Holland Park

- Crockery choices
- The number of people
- Travel to Holland Park
- How long the roast and service take
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

To get the best quote, tell us:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your menu choices
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Someone to meet us at reception
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
As a London location, Holland Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Questions from Holland Park
What if our house in Holland Park has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Kensington Palace Green?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
